Nice VW Beetle restored in 1998 and garage kept since. Only driven a few hundred miles a year. Original odometer was replaced in 1998, new odometer states mileage since car was rebuilt and reads 2491 miles. Car had a rebuilt 1600cc stock engine and rebuilt manual transmission installed, wheel bearings, brakes, and front end rebuilt, new tires, new paint, new interior, new carpet, Sony CD player and new speakers added, etc. all in 1998. Car was recently started and driven with no mechanical issues. Engine could probably use a minor tune-up but the entire drivetrain has been rebuilt/replaced <2500 miles ago and the valves were adjusted professionally last year. There is a small amount of bubbling of the paint near the rear windows and a few areas where scratches in the paint have been touched up on the vehicle. The interior has a few marks and small tears and there are a few small chips on the dashboard. The car was only driven in warmer months so the heater boxes and vents are not currently hooked up or running. Wiring harness and fuse block were replaced and the car does need some electrical work as most but not all electrical switches, etc. are working at present. Car does have a brand new battery. The hood latch and cable as well as the release lever and glove box were all recently replaced with new parts but need to be installed/adjusted. Car is very nice but is an older car and does have a few issues as indicated and as such is being sold as-is / where-is. It is available to inspect in person, so if you have any questions on the condition please feel free to contact me or come see the vehicle in person. I have a VW Beetle specific tow bar (can be used to tow the vehicle behind a truck/motorhome), a car cover, some documentation, and 2 boxes of original & spare parts that will be included with the car.

Bentley considering diesel engine for new SUV
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Turns out, in case you didn't know, the rich are just like regular people. They too are concerned about the environment, even when tooling around town in their super-luxurious Bentleys. So the automaker is weighing the idea of offering a diesel engine in its SUV offering, which could help satisfy customers' demands for more fuel-efficient engines.
Chairman and CEO Wolfgang Schreiber told Autoblog in a roundtable interview at the Geneva Auto Show that the automaker is researching whether or not a diesel engine makes sense for the brand. Bentley, owned by the Volkswagen Group, could in theory use a diesel engine from anywhere in the Volkswagen Group family. We at Autoblog have hopes they'll revive the V10 TDI used in the VW Touareg until 2010, but ever-stricter emissions laws would likely make that problematic.
But rich people aren't so much like us that they'll be worried about petty things like pricing. Schreiber admitted the diesel engine could be a $15,000 option, which he said customers would probably find "acceptable." Given that the cheapest Bentley today starts at $177,000, typical customers probably won't be diddling around worrying about an extra 15 grand.

Volkswagen profit jumps as it warns of a cooling auto market
Wed, Oct 30 2019FRANKFURT, Germany — Volkswagen says its profits jumped 44% in the third quarter thanks to a more profitable mix of vehicles in its lineup but warned that global car markets are slowing more than expected and lowered its forecast for annual sales. After-tax profit rose to $4.42 billion (3.98 billion euros) as revenues rose 11% to $68.27 billion (61.42 billion euros). The sales margin of 7.8% exceeded the goal of 6.5-7.5% as vehicles bringing higher profits took a larger share of sales. The Wolfsburg-based automaker pointed to the headwinds facing the industry by saying that it expects "vehicle markets will contract faster than previously anticipated in many regions of the world." It said sales would be "on a level" with last year's record of 10.8 million vehicles. Previously it had expected a slight increase. The company said its profits would be in the lower end of its forecast range. Global automakers are facing a slowdown in sales amid disputes over trade and from pressure in the European Union and China to develop and sell low-emission vehicles that require heavy investment in new technology. Ford and Renault have issued profit warnings in recent days, while Daimler, maker of Mercedes-Benz luxury cars, lost money in the second quarter and is expected to outline a cost-cutting strategy for investors on Nov. 14. Volkswagen is leading the push into electric vehicles in Europe by launching its ID.3 battery-powered compact car at prices it says will make zero local emission vehicles a mass phenomenon. The company was able to increase earnings in the quarter despite an 18% rise in spending on research and development.
